Dear Colleagues—

After much thought and consideration, the town hall scheduled for Wednesday morning to address the College of Business & Management climate study has been canceled. Our next steps will be to seek support from the University of Illinois System to determine another resource to assess the themes of concern in the college and develop an action plan.

A contractor will be on campus, Saturday, Oct. 15, for work on the HSB roof. This effort will involve the use of a crane, which will be placed on the east side of the building. Markers and barricades will be used to cordon off the area where the crane will be located.

Please do not enter the 3rd floor of HSB during this time. Signs will be placed on the stairwells as a reminder.

Work using the crane is expected to take most of the day.

The annual fire drills for the UIS campus will be conducted on Friday, Oct. 21, Friday, Oct. 28, and Friday, Nov. 4.

The corridors and stairwells of UHB will be painted during the last two weeks of October.

The University of Illinois Springfield Theatre Program will present six performances of “Medea” by Euripides opening on Friday, Oct. 28 in the Studio Theatre, located on the lower level of the Public Affairs Center at UIS.

All shows will begin at 7:30 p.m., except the Sunday performance (Oct. 30), which will begin at 2 p.m. Opening weekend performance dates include Oct. 28-30. The following week, the play will be performed Nov. 3-5.
